OPERATION
• Always comply with all state and local lighting and
marking requirements.
• Operate only in daylight or good articial light.
• Keep bystanders away from equipment.
• Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
• Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from being
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in
“locked up” position at all times.
• Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
• Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,
and ensure all other controls are disengaged before
starting power unit engine.
• Look down and to the rear and make sure area is
clear before operating in reverse.
• Use extreme care when working close to fences,
ditches, other obstructions, or on hillsides.
• Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
• Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on
slopes.
• Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes
and rough terrain.
• Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
• Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon
striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove
key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming
operation.

put attachment on the ground. Engage brake, stop
engine, remove key, and remove seat belt.
MAINTENANCE
